Midway through the 4th and IU leads 55 - 42.   The starters have done it all as the bench has contributed no points and only 2 rebounds.  Buss with her third double double of the year.  The main Husker offensive weapon, Shepard, has 18 pts. and 12 reb., but has committed 11 TO's all by herself.

Once again the Lady Hoosiers defend home court with a 59 - 47 win over Nebraska.  Shooting percentage never did pick-up, but they held the Huskers scoreless for extended periods of time in the 2nd half.  They controlled the offensive board and took advantage of the Husker turnovers.

 

Buss with 17 pts; 11 reb.; 6 assists; 7 steals.

So proud of these Hoosiers. They are great at keeping their composure and never giving up. As I look at the remainder of their schedule, they should be able to finish with a very respectable conference record and a good seed for the conference tourney.
